So right now i have a MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 motherboard which only supports FM2 socket type cpu's from AMD. I currently have an AMD A10 6800K apu and i want to know if there is a better, faster FM2 socket cpu than my 6800K. It doesn't have to have integrated graphics. Just curious to know if there is anything better that would be compatible with my FM2 socket motherboard. Thanks!

Nope. You have AMD's flagship APU for socket FM2. You cannot get any better performance without switching the motherboard.

Kaveri is AMD's upcoming 4th generation APU. Unfortunately for you and everyone else with a socket FM2 motherboard, you will not be able to run a Kaveri APU which is socket FM2+. While Kaveri will fit in a socket FM2 motherboard, it lacks the additional circuitry (voltage regulator???) that Kaveri needs and is provided for in socket FM2+.
